Durban, July 7 (PTI) Spain today scripted history by qualifying for their maiden World Cup final since their first appearance 76 years ago with a 1-0 victory over three-time champions Germany to set up a summit clash against the Netherlands here today.
Spain’s best show in a World Cup before today had been a fourth-place finish in 1950 but at that time the champion team was decided after a final round league format.
Vicente Del Bosque’s ‘La Furia Roja’ side will now take on the Netherlands at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg on July 11 in the grand finale which will saw a new World Cup winner being crowned.
